ORIGINAL POSTERCan I use pound sterling on my insurance certificate? Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether pound sterling can be used on an insurance certificate for entry into Thailand. While some participants share their experiences, notably that insurers can accept various equivalent currencies and specifically mention using GBP, others clarify that US dollars are generally preferred. One user discusses their successful use of a UK-based insurance policy that covers specific medical conditions, affirming its acceptability by Thai authorities for visa purposes.

Any of you that bank with Barclays they do a brilliant deal re travel insurance which includes various current medical conditions you may have.
Covered for £10m which is on the policy document Inc covid. This document accepted by the Thai's for visa and Thai Pass purposes providing you name and policy number is on it.
Valid for multi trips 31 days at a time which you can extend for an additional fee up to 90 days.
